101. I agree with you completely. Several years back I used these terms
myself to describe the trend I saw going on...and I can see a clear motive as well. Already we have the rich using the average working folk (serfs)to make their billions... (way prior to the bailouts...which may ultimately be necessary under the circumstances)I'm not just talking about Capitalism...but the ultra rich stole control of the government and started using tax dollars as investment funds. Clear examples are private contractors "hired" to make their living off a war paid for by tax payers: Halliburton (Dick Cheney and his cronies). Big pharma making billions off the sale of exotic flu scare vaccines (Donald Rumsfeld & his cronies), and finally the banks at the final hour of the last "administration" .

I don't have access to this kind of money to invest in order to increase my wealth...the same way I don't have access to a serfdom. There is no difference at all that I can see. We are working like hell to fill up a bottomless bank account that only benefits the powerful few.

Why is this article such a threat to those that oppose it? It isn't Obama's fault this has happened...it seems to me he is trying to do what he can-operating in this world, NOT an ideal one - to fix it so we don't all lose our homes starve and as a result.
